  1. This was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to make a lemon gooey butter cake using a box of lemon cake mix, and this was perfect. I took it to the nursing home for all the residents, and the plates were licked clean and the pan was promptly returned to me "EMPTY." I will be making this again soon. Thanks so much mariajane.......
